Frequently Asked Questions
What is wet hire and how does it differ from dry hire?
Wet hire means you’re hiring both the equipment and a qualified operator. In contrast, dry hire provides just the machine, leaving you responsible for operating it. Wet hire is often ideal for large, complex, or hazardous tasks like excavation, land clearing, or dam works. Experienced operators ensure the job is done efficiently and safely, which reduces the risk of delays or damage. It’s especially beneficial if you don’t have the proper licences or skills. Wet hire can also include routine maintenance during the job. This service is common on farms, construction sites, and civil projects that require precision and compliance.
What are gabion rock walls and where are they used?
Gabion rock walls are wire cages filled with rocks, used as a strong, flexible solution for erosion control and retaining walls. Their open structure allows water to pass through, which reduces pressure and minimises damage from runoff. They’re commonly used along creek beds, slopes, and road embankments. Gabions are environmentally friendly, as they blend into the landscape and can encourage vegetation to grow through the gaps. They’re also durable and require minimal maintenance compared to concrete alternatives. Farmers and landowners often use them to stabilise land, prevent washouts, and protect infrastructure. Installation is quick with the right equipment and materials.
What factors affect the placement of a dam on rural land?
Choosing the right site for a dam is essential for performance, safety, and longevity. Key factors include topography, soil type, catchment area, proximity to water sources, and intended use. The land should ideally have a natural depression or valley to minimise earthworks and maximise water retention. Clay-based soil is preferred as it helps seal the dam and prevent leaks. The dam should be placed to capture runoff efficiently without affecting existing infrastructure or ecosystems. Safe access for future maintenance should also be considered. A poorly placed dam can lead to erosion, overflow, or failure, so expert consultation is recommended.
